Hard Times Done Drove Me to Drink Songtext
von Leroy Carr

Hard times has drove me to drinking, sometimes I′m thinking
And I keep on drinking, trying to drink my blues away
These hard times has drove me to
Drinking, trying to drink my blues away
Lord I just keep on drinking, trying to drink my blues away

Then my house fell down and I ain't got no place to stay
Then my house fell down and I ain′t got no place to stay
I just keep on drinking, trying to drive my blues away


I'm gonna keep on drinking until I satisfy my mind
I'm gonna keep on drinking until I satisfy my mind
′Cause my neighbors are kicking, they treat me so unkind

My mind gets a-rolling, three thousand things on my mind
And my mind gets a-rolling, three thousand things on my mind
And I just keep on drinking, just to pass away my time

Mmm, baby you don′t know, you don't know
Mmm, baby you don′t know, you don't know
How these hard times have done drove me
To drinking, and I don′t know where to go

Now just give me another half a pint and that will be all right
Give me another half a pint and that will be all right
And I may be back after another one, right through tonight
